Briey Edition | Fifty-year-old victim of a violent road trip on the A4

Passengers would have settled in the back, this spectacular accident would have had far more dramatic consequences given the state of the vehicle. Fortunately, this motorist was alone on board at the time of the loss of control. This occurred on Wednesday around noon on the A4 in the direction of Metz-Paris.

For some reason, this Thionvilloise born in 1970 lost control of her Nissan Juke, near the village of Ville-en-Woëvre. The accident happened on the border of the Meuse. The SUV probably rolled over one or more before coming to a stop below the motorway, some 30 meters further on. The condition of the vehicle and the place where it ended its race testifies in any case to a particularly violent departure from the road.

Firefighters evacuate victim with rope

The Smur du Val de Briey was also involved in the accident, in addition to the twelve firefighters from several rescue centers at 54 (Jarny, Val de Briey, Val de l’Orne, Audun-le-Roman). When rescue workers arrived, the victim had successfully escaped from the carcass. But suffering from several trauma to the face and back, the lady was placed in the shell of the fire soldiers. The latter had to face this main difficulty: going up the slope with their victim.

The rescue crews then set up a judicious device: they deployed a rope on which they installed the mattress-shell using carabiners. “The advantage of this system was that it did not cause tremors in the victim. We had to immobilize him as much as possible in order to spare his back. This device also secured the rise of the embankment: our men should not have fallen while bringing back the victim ”, specifies lieutenant Poésy, who directed the operations.

These ended with the transport of the driver to Mercy. His vital prognosis was not engaged when he left by ambulance for the hospital. The gendarmes of the Val de Briey motorized platoon are responsible for the investigation.
